Do you fall for these traps?
BNPL
Payday loans
Student loans
Credit card fees and interest
Negative equity car loans
etc. etc. etc.
I mean, seriously…Are people not teaching their kids how money and credit work? Even something as common as compound interest?
You have probably heard this already…
“Those who don’t understand compound interest, pay it…The people who DO understand compound interest GET it.”
My parents utterly failed at this, so I made every mistake. Thankfully I fixed it over 10 years…

2025 Rear Seat Belt Buckle Seizing
SHORT STORY:
Dealer was no help, no on-line resource to help me, blowing them out didn’t help, poking them with small probes hasn’t helped either … still non-functioning buckles.
LONG STORY:
I took it…
I have a 2025 BSBL and after only a few months, the back seat belt buckles stopped working. Specifically, the rear center buckle will not latch the belt tongue when inserted, and the rear driver’s side buckle won’t unlatch from a dog tether. Can anyone on this forum help?

The Badlands Oil Change Experience
Some notes for general information:
* Oil filter: When removing the filter it leaks oil as soon as the gasket is no longer in contact with the mating surface. This isn’t too bad if you’re aware of it and have the drain pan under it. Once the oil stops leaking out you can remove the filter, but as soon as it’s free, more oil comes gushing out. Forum members have…
Yesterday, I changed the oil in our Badlands. It was the 3rd time I’ve done it so it was a little easier, but not by much.

2021 bronco sport – 4WD module failing
Hill Start Assist Not Available, 4WD Fault Service Required, 4WD Off, Service Advance Trac
These error pop ups come and go with the orange wrench
The car recently had recall service done and this was never an issue before
Please let me know how to proceed with having this intermittent computer module issue covered under the 5 year/60k warranty, particularly since it began following the recall service – thank you

Pedal Commander throttle controller
Not sure if anyone else has installed a Pedal Commander on their BS but I “feel” the difference in the seat of my pants! It doesnt increase power, rather eliminates the throttle (and subsequent turbo) lag tremendously. For less than $300, I think the best bang for the buck as far as performance goes. Less than 5 minutes to install. Simply unplug the harness to the gas pedal, one end of the unit plugs into the gas pedal, the other end to the harness…Done…
